Description

Economists are regularly confronted with results of quantitative economics research. Econometrics: Theory and Applications with EViews provides a broad introduction to quantitative economic methods, for example how models arise, their underlying assumptions and how estimates of parameters or other economic quantities are computed.

The author combines econometric theory with practice by demonstrating its use with the software package EViews through extensive use of screen shots. The emphasis is on understanding how to select the right method of analysis for a given situation, and how to actually apply the theoretical methodology correctly.

The EViews software package is available from 'Quantitive Micro Software'.

Features

A quantitative economic research project is simulated in the case studies throughout various chapters using real economic data, showing the reader how he/she can conduct their own econometric research project and write a complete research paper

Only relevant statistical and mathematical theory is used to discuss principles helping minimise mathematics for students.

Numerous screenshots of EViews windows have been included to clarify its use

Full of examples, data and exercises, with data-sets available to download from the book’s website at www.booksites.net/vogelvang
